Background Checks for Employers
Make Better Hiring Decisions — Without Guesswork, Gaps, or Compliance Risk
Background checks built for employers who need more than “instant results.” Get complete, defensible screening across alias names, address history, county, state, and federal records — all in one seamless workflow.
Why Most Background Checks Fail Employers
Most employers think they’re covered… until something goes wrong. Here’s the reality:
“Instant” background checks rely on incomplete databases. Alias names and prior addresses are frequently missed. Federal crimes are not included in most searches. Inconsistent processes across hiring managers create legal liability.
The result? A false sense of security — and real exposure to negligent hiring risk.
SecureSearch vs. Instant Background Check Services
| Feature | Instant Services | SecureSearch |
|---|---|---|
| Alias name searching | Rarely | Always |
| County courthouse searches | No | Every address, 7 years |
| Federal courts search | Rarely | Yes |
| Human validation of records | No | Every record |
| FCRA-compliant workflow | Sometimes | Always |
| Live support from real people | No | Yes |
A More Defensible Approach to Employment Screening
At SecureSearch, we don’t just run background checks — we help you build a defensible hiring process. Every search is designed to answer one question: “Would this stand up if your hiring decision was ever questioned?”
Our best-practice model includes:
Multi-state criminal database with alias name matching. County courthouse searches for every address in the past 7 years. Statewide repositories where applicable. National Federal Courts search — often missed by competitors. SSN trace to uncover identity and address history. Human validation of all criminal records before reporting.
This layered approach closes the gaps where risk hides.

Stay Compliant Without Slowing Down Hiring
